Anybody able to Identify this model?

I saw this noodling around the web and never seen one before:

Those are Blake’s guitars. There’s a thread on the middle one In this forum

You'll start to recognize his photo drape...... as said above, that's Blake. I'm not good with these models. Maybe a GF60M or something?

1997 Nashville Custom Shop F44 maple with Florentine Cut away

I think, by matching pictures at Blake's web site.

Yes, this is one of mine, and it is called a F44mce (maple cut away electric) it was a one of one build in the nashville custom shop. I have a shot of the label you can see. If you want to see a full set of pics on it and some other fancy guilds, check out this link. https://guildacoustics.com/the-best-guilds

Wow - I would sure love to call this one mine.
They got the Venice cutaway right and did not make it too short as often seen elsewhere (Taylor for example).

I'm sure they took a lot of styling cues from this model when creating the Doyle Dykes signature models. Very similar. Nice.

Well, testing my memory... Doyle's requirements in New Hartford's signature series were maple bodies and a rose theme (rose, not rosewood) and his electrics (I think Fishman??) with those funky, per-string saddles. Doyle's signature headstock was unique, as was the fretboard marker(s). It was *definitely* based on the F-47 body with Venetian cutaway. Same with the 12-string as I recall.

Definitely not the same guitar, Charlie, but.... as a template it would've been perfect, don't you think?
